A residential school along with an old age home

Objective: Those amongst us who are too old to survive on our own will have the care of a home and be surrounded by children who care. We believe we need to bring back the heritage of family togetherness and teach our children to care for our elders.

Project: Vanaprastha (Old Age Home)

Why an old age home?

In present days, most of the old people, when they become non earning members of the family or sick or really invalid are neglected and sometimes thrown out of their houses even. They become burden to their own children who forget about the good things and sacrifices of their parents towards bringing them up and settling them in their life. Nobody is bothered to know what these old people actually require at the edge of their lives. Apart from the basic needs like shelter, food etc… It is the love, affection, and a few words of care that these people expect from their children, which are totally lacking in most of the families whether rich or poor in our modern society.
